Count Basie

William "Count" Basie (August 21, 1904 – April 26, 1984) was an American jazz pianist, organist, bandleader, and composer. His mother first taught him piano and he started performing in his teens. Dropping out of school, he learned to operate lights for vaudeville and improvised to accompany silent films at a local theatre in his town of Red Bank, New Jersey. By 16, he increasingly played jazz piano at parties, resorts and other venues. In 1924, he went to Harlem, where his performing career expanded; he toured with groups to the major jazz cities of Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City. In 1929 he joined Bennie Moten's band in Kansas City, and played with them until Moten's death in 1935. more »

Through a shadowed world
I drift in emptiness and doubt
Because I push aside the love
I just can't live without

Please won't you give my crying eye
Just one more chance to see
That look upon your face
That promised love to me

Am I asking too much
Or is this love we had
Lost beyond recall
Am I asking too much
Can we start again and rise above it all

Kiss my ears with gentle words I need to hear
(Baby I love you)
Let your arms reach out and
Tell me that you need me dear
(Baby I need you)
'Cause if you need me darling
Baby, you'll forgive
(Forgive me dear)
You'll forgive me says the breath of air
I need to live

Am I asking too much
Even though I hurt you so
Don't say we're through
Am I asking too much
Won't you let me try
And make it up to you

All the precious hours we've wasted
All the bitter tears we've tasted
I need your love inside of me
Make me the girl I used to be

In your heart is there no longer room for me to live
When all I did was take, all you did was give
All the tears I made you cry
Turned your heart to stone
Has loneliness made up your mind
To live alone

Am I asking too much
Or is this love we had
Lost beyond recall
Am I asking too much
Can we start again and rise above it all

Am I asking too much
Won't you let me try
And make it up to you
Am I asking too much
Even though I hurt you so
Don't say were through

Am I asking too much
Or is this love we had
Lost beyond recall
